The lyrics express a desire to let God carry the weight, choose the path, and draw close like a child coming home. The chorus emphasizes lifting hands in surrender and offering one's life forever. The bridge repeats a willingness for God to do anything He wants. The song reflects themes of trust, grace, and a longing to return to a first love for God, reminiscent of the prodigal son's return.

Verse 1

I'm going to let You carry me

I'm going to let You draw me close

Just like the child I was meant to be

Jesus I am coming home

Chorus

Hands held high, I surrender

Heart on fire, in Your presence

Take my life, yours forever

I surrender, I surrender

Verse 2

I'm going to let you take the weight

I'm going to let you choose the road

I am leaning on your grace

Where you go I want to go

Bridge

Do anything you want to do

Verse 3

Didn't we burn when we heard You speak

Didn't your hope rise over us?

So I'm running for this light I've seen

Take me back to my first love
